The plain of Quarto, with its network of rustic villas, became part of the territory of the colony of Puteoli from the Augustan period onwards. Watching briefs undertaken on modern construction sites have recovered new data from this the area. A small necropolis of imperial date, relating to one of these complexes, was uncovered close to an unpaved branch of the via Campana. There were eleven burials: “a cappuccino” and infant burials in amphora. A funerary relief, decorated with _bucranium_, garlands and a funerary inscription, had been reused on the floor of an earth grave. The small side street was later partially obliterated by the construction of a funerary structure in _opus vittatum_, datable to the 2nd century A.D. Used only for inhumations it was built within an earlier complex in _opus reticulatum_. A funerary monument was situated below the road and south of the mausoleum, which to date has no parallels in the area of _Puteoli_. It was constituted by a large parallelepiped of tufa masonry with two libation tubes connected to two _busta sepulcra_. The presence, in one of the tomb groups, of several lamps with the stamp PVF in a double _planta pedis_ dates the tomb to the second half of the 1st century A.D. Furthermore, beside this monument two burials were uncovered, which were of note for the peculiarity of the funerary ritual which was certainly foreign. Two adult individuals, one in a fetal position its head on the feet of the other who lay supine, were buried in the bare earth above a series of five transport amphora of the African II type, fixed into the ground and broken at the shoulders.
